Actor and Rajya Sabha member Jaggesh has moved the High Court of Karnataka questioning the legality of the search conducted on his premises by the Forest Department on the issue of possessing a tiger claw without giving him any time to respond to the notice issued by the officials themselves on the same day.
What notice said
It was pointed out in the petition that the Deputy Conservator of Forests, Forest Mobile Squad, issued a notice on October 25, asking Mr. Jaggesh to produce the tiger claw for inspection. And the notice stated that action under the provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, would be initiated if he failed to produce the said animal artefact.
